SUFU

Background

SUFU is a component of the Sonic hedgehog (SHH, MIM 600725)/Patched (PTCH, MIM 601309) signaling pathway. Mutations in genes encoding components of this pathway are deleterious for normal development and are associated with cancer-predisposing syndromes. SUFU encodes a component of the sonic hedgehog (SHH, MIM 600725)/patched (PTCH, MIM 601309) signaling pathway. Mutations in genes encoding components of this pathway are deleterious for normal development and are associated with cancer-predisposing syndromes (e.g., HPE3, MIM 142945, BCNS, MIM 109400, and GCPS, MIM 175700).
